Roadway safety

Provide the training to your agency. Trainers who attended the Roadway Safety for Patrol Officers course are eligible to attend this 8-hour course, where they will be given the resources and skills needed to teach the training curriculum to other officers during academy or in-service training. The virtual Train-the-Trainer course is split into two sections and split over two days.

There were 58 officers killed in traffic-related incidents in 2021, compared to 42 during the same period last year—a 38 percent increase. Nearly 50 percent of these incidents were stuck-by fatalities. Join CARFAX for Police for a collaborative session where a panel of traffic safety experts will present the latest research, tactics, and tools to help law enforcement officers reduce the occurrence of struck-by fatalities.

Efforts to improve safety can often be hampered by individual decision-making that has been negatively influenced by organizational culture. Even officers who otherwise engage in safe behaviors may sometimes choose to overlook safety violations committed by their peers. A strong organizational safety culture, with an emphasis on peer-to-peer accountability, is critical to maximizing officer safety. The Peer Accountability for Law Enforcement Safety (P.A.L.S.) model is one simple way officers can strengthen peer-to-peer accountability for safe operations.

In 2021, law enforcement experienced a 38% increase in roadway-related fatalities from 2020. Alarmingly, this increase was driven in part by a 100% increase in struck-by fatalities, with 28 officers killed – the highest ever recorded (NLEOMF, 2022). Reducing injuries and fatalities from officer-involved collisions and struck-by incidents must be a top priority for all law enforcement professionals in 2022 to reverse these sobering trends.
